Although not paid as much as dropship opportunities, freelance editing has its challenges even when sometimes you have to work on resumes.. Style management, sentence restructuring, tables reformatting, proofreading, charts corrections and the like, make the fundamental activities performed by an editor. Freelance editing is about earning money by improving the condition of a text that needs spelling, grammar and punctuation checks. And such jobs are necessary because publishers do not receive manuscripts unless they are well edited and in an appealing format. Amateurs and professionals take freelance editing as a solution for earning their living, and although they may start with modest collaborations, in time, long term contracts will be easier to land.
The accuracy of text, the mechanics of writing and the improvement of the style represent the major objectives of editing. The homogeneity of the style is essential for this discipline, and all publications require that standards be preserved. Freelance editing becomes a necessity because terminology, spelling and accuracy are not always a writer's strong points. For instance, names of foreign state leaders are spelled differently depending on the language, and there should not be more spelling variants in the same publication.
For freelance editing you should work according to the letter of the Associated Press and Modern Language Associations in what the style is concerned. No good employer will hire someone who doesn't have solid knowledge of style guides, which is why, you need to train if necessary. Personal style could even be polished with the help of online tools, and checking the offer of such programs is something to consider.
Freelance editing could bring a decent salary if performed well and without stress. If you've got any editing experience you'll know how to handle your activities, but if you are new to the profession, special care is necessary. Do not think that editing means re-writing, because you are wrong. You may polish up the style but the author's ideas and sentences have to remain as exact as possible. When there is a too free-hand in the editing process, there will be less from the author to recognize in the text, and this may could spoil the success of a contract. Writers and editors are brought close together by their profession, and competence is the ruling concept in this world.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):
The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.
I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.
The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.
I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
